My knees really hurt after using the treadmill

[Virdi]

Hi all,

need some help / advice please.

I am trying to get back into shape and have finally started to use my Reebok treadmill.

I don’t run, I just do fast pace walking, speed 3-3.5 and incline of 2-3.

I do 5-10 min of slow walking to warm up before cranking up the speed and I try to exercise every 3rd day, for about 45mins in total.

The problem I have is that my knees are really hurt after I exercise and it seems to be worse on the following day.

I have already bought myself some Asics Gel Pulse 10 trainers which I do think have helped slightly.

...Is there anything wrong I am doing or could be doing?

my weight is 96Kg

Thanks

Thank you for all the advice guys.

I will definitely try to break it up and do more stretching before and after.

I am new to this, so I am hoping my body and legs will adjust

I am now also considering to buy a cross trainer.

thanks
